Alumni Association
150th Anniversary Celebrations





The UMass Amherst Alumni Association is delighted to celebrate 150 years of alumni community & pride!

From the establishment of the first alumni club in 1886 to the networking, fundraising, and mentoring activities of today, UMass Amherst alumni have always banded together to enhance campus life and ensure a dynamic educational experience for succeeding generations. 

To mark this impressive milestone, join us at upcoming events where we will recognize 150 years of shaping and supporting UMass Amherst’s transformation into a top-tier public university. Check this website often, as we will continue to add exciting pop-up events for the whole family.
